Let It Snow - Snowman - If Kisses Were Snowflakes

Yogi here today... Quietfire is having a Christmas In July week... and I'm doing an easel card for the Quietfire Digital Blog

I'm using the digital file from Suzanne available on the Silhouette onLine store - click on image to purchase

Also using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design ("If Kisses Were Snowflakes..."); Scored and folded my dark blue cardstock. Cut another piece as front. Dry embossed it using Cuttlebug "Winter Wonderland" set. Sanded the high points giving a ghost like look. My embossed paper was a bit shy in size, so cut a piece of an aqua glitter cardstock and created a frame.

Note: Why waste the whole piece of glitter cardstock by layering the dry embossed piece in front... Now I have the drop out piece for another card...

Opened the "Let It Snow - Snowman" on my mat. Pushed the snowman of my mat. Resized the word to 4.5"w, copied and pasted it 2 more times and the just the snowflake 4 times, then cut from white cardstock. While on the mat, painted the word piece with Distress dabber "Broken China". Let dry naturally. Removed from mat and inked with Versamark and embossed with Emerald Creek "Turquoise Shimmer" embossing powder. The snowflakes I embossed with "Psychedelic" embossing powder. Adhere the snowflakes to the word pieces, then onto the card front.

On the floor: Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx on white cardstock and clear embossed. Trimmed down and adhered to a scrap piece of the aqua glitter cardstock. Adhered to floor with 3D foam tape to act as my stopper.

Adhered the snowflake ribbon and the snowflake buttons using hot glue.
